The volume works for the iPhone but for skipping songs, does it only work in iTunes or does this function also work if using Amazon Cloud Player?

You can skip songs on the iPhone's music player as well other iOS apps (like the Amazon Cloud Player) by clicking the center button twice. You can also fast-forward on some applications by clicking once, clicking again and holding. It works on the iPhone's music player and Downcast, but I couldn't get it to work on the Cloud Player.

Can't speak for iPhone, but if its anything like my android device, it's pretty much useless. None of the control or EQ buttons doing anything. They only work when playing mp3s on the device itself.

It doesn't play anything directly. If your smartphone can play Amazon music then you might be able to link it to the speakersOverall it's a piece of junk. Impossible to connect. I have all 3 models in the storage. Waste of money . Pioneer customer support blames it on the cable company, what an excuse

I think it is because you don't need an app on the Kindle to listen to your music. Just go to 'music' and it's all there. Instead download this on your computer to listen to your music from Amazon and other music you've loaded into the Amazon cloud.

The button doesn't skip tracks or adjust volume. It does however pause the music, and unpause. Hope this helps.

The volume buttons skip a song forward or backward if you hold either button more than 2 seconds. They will not fast forward or rewind through a song just skip to the next.

I have this issue as well. Occasionally the speaker will start skipping (about 1/8 - 1/4 second of music goes missing, once ever 30-60 seconds) and will continue to do this. During some sessions it won't do this. I've experienced this with an iPhone 4s and various Windows Phones. This is the only Bluetooth speaker I've seen this skipping on, and I've used a lot of different Bluetooth speakers and headphones.

I use rocketdog headphones with mine. It has volume control as well as skip and repeat buttons. All those buttons work for me. My guess would be that if it doesn't work, the problem lies with your headphones and not with the iPod or bluetooth thing plugged into the iPod.

I ordered 3, it's hit and miss on any device as far as controlling volume, next song, pause, sometimes I cannot answer a call and only control volume. Sometimes I get msg that it's not compatible with this device. I too have iphone 5. Mophie makes one that I have no trouble with. Hope this helps.

Yes, you just hold down the "skip" buttons. The one on the right increases volume, and the one on the left decreases. Just pressing the "skip" buttons changes songs as one would expect.

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

I have an apple iPhone and I don't think it plays music, I have tried. I can do dictaction thru the dragon dictation app. If you know how to listen to music, please share.

Not to my knowledge. I use the pause and the skip function, but I unfortunately threw away the instructions. I believe the website Phillipsgogearvibe.com or similar may help you with that information. I really do love this thing and think it sounds as good or better than my friends Ipod. Good luck!

When I am playing songs through the auxiliary cable, I can not use the head unit to skip or pause songs. Everything has to be done through the phone itself. (I have a HTC One)

I have an Android phone, not a Kindle Fire, but my experience may be similar to yours. The audio of course works fine with all devices with a headphone jack. The microphone and the answer/pause/resume button work fine with Android; I can make & answer phone calls and pause/resume the music. Double clicking the pause button does NOT skip to the next song as it supposedly does on Apple. The volume control arrow buttons do not work; those are probably compatible with Apple only.

You can skip tracks in bluetooth. As for me the unit is very loud for its size. Also it depends on your music, i notice that some of my songs are loud since they are recorded in high quality bitrate. While some songs that have low recording it won't be that loud with the volume at max.
